:( Sad news.

Interesting how the article just calls it "early monday" rather than "early Christmas morning" or "early on December 25th".

Sorry to hear of his passing, at least it was relatively quick.

Very sad. My dad will be surprised to hear this. He's always gone on and on about how he saw Mr. Brown 3 times in one year...

Damn, R.I.P. James... nobody could come close to matching your moves!

RIP James.

That "one good article every issue" held true for a wonderful, lengthy James Brown write up in Rolling Stone recently. Worth seeking out.

I wonder if whoever found him came out and put the cape on him to revive him?

Well, with just under 200 JB songs on my Ipod, I guess I know what I'll be listening to around the house today...

James has been my favorite musician since I was 16 years old. This one really hurts.

paulringodaman 12-25-06 01:26 PM

No mention of his death on ENTERTAINMENT TONITE or E! NEWS DAILEY on Monday.
And ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY has no mention in their 2006 YEAR END issue.

It just happened today. The year-end EW issue went to print long before then. As for the shows, they were likely recorded in advance because of Christmas.
